People's Republic gold Panda 50 Yuan (1/2 oz) 2000 MS69 NGC, KM1306, Fr-B5, PAN-327A. Mintage: 20,811. Frosted Ring variety. A superb example of the type with eye-appealing features and fields that are extremely clear for the grade. One pinpoint toning spot atop the Panda's head is likely all that keeps this piece from attaining a flawless designation.
Estimate: 1000-1500 USD
